Does this also support running WASI? Or spin only?
The project is focused on supporting Spin. But Spin supports a large amount of the WASI API surface and is headed in the direction of using WASI in place of Spin specific APIs wherever possible.

Why is anything special or unique required to run WASM on kube? A container is a container, no? Serious question. To me the benefit of kube is that the api is a container and allows for any container to run there.
Hey SpinKube maintainer here. You're right that you could just run your Wasm (or Spin app) directly in a container and there often are reasons you might want to do that. But, SpinKube executes WebAssembly using a containerd-shim which means we avoid the overhead of starting a container and rather just directly execute the Wasm.
https://www.spinkube.dev/blog/2024/03/13/introducing-spinkub... is a really good blog post on Spin that talks about this.
I think it’s equally unhealthy to be obsessed with being productive 100% of the time.
Agreed, the trick is finding the balance. Personally still figuring how to do that.
